TSX Trunk Feature on TL

My TL is in the shop and I have a TSX for a loaner. The TSX has a button between the license plate lights to open the trunk. Does the TL>

nooo. we have it better. As you notice our TL's only have one key hole on the WHOOLLEE exterior. And if you do the mod that some people did here that elimintated it, then you have no key holes at all.

what happens if the battery runs out of the fob and you needed to get in your car? how would you open it without keyholes?

fucked. Call a locksmith. Oh wait, since you modded it they won't be able to pick the lock, and jimmying it thru the window will likely scratch it.

You could remove that piece.

How you replace that lock is how you do the emergency unlocking.

You could find this cTLgo MOD in GARAGE, too.

And don't forget, if your battery is dead and you open the door with the key, there is a manual trunk release located behind the arm rest in the rear seat, in case you need to get in the trunk.

Here is a breakdown on the door handle and the lock cylinder cover

Which is with your significant other, who is two miles away, but maybe they can hold it to their chin and it will work.

If alarm is on, you could insert your key into key lock and turn it.

This should be able to do it. My 94Legend can do so.
